free practice not advantage in the race
is advantage the race only position in qualifying
if you see result free practice is nothing effect this race

Probably something happened in the free practice. Anyway it doesnt really wort mentioning at al, it is a free practice afterall and a top racer like hamilton could be having his sloppy time as well therefore he doesnt really need to get serious from the start of the game unless it is the real game for him

iam not belived lewis hamilton only placed 7th in free practice

result second free practice in series sigapore

I'm watching now second practice and i enjoy in it time will be under 1 min 44 sec on this one

max vestapen is good performance, i think nex time can world champion
and next season maybe can batle championship with vettel hamilton and roseberg

good prediction dude in top are 2 red bull drivers then vettel and two Mercedes drivers and to mentioned that Rosberg had little crash but nothing serious

another team mercedes is very dicifult can win
althoug race singapore circuit is very dificult
very dificult overtake, in qualfying is start first the big chance win
only pitsop can over take

night race this should be good for red Bull give them chances here for win

next season batle championship is good three team can batle to champion
ducati with lorenzo, honda with marc marques and yamaha with valentino rossi or vinalles

in next year factory team will be so strong that if they show performance better then this season in next we will have 5-6 drivers constantly battle for win
if that is to be then im ready for that right now

it's gonna be season to remember by i think
lot of expectations in next season expecially for Ducati

this will be at the end another epic battle but for some point think that Rossi has the advantage he driver well but Marquez is little off or just he dont have enough power in but then how did Pedrosa won last race
this just give us another great finale if by any means Marquez fall in one race then it will be thriller to remember by

special apluase to dorna the rule play in create dorna
is now season 2016 is interest 8 diference rider can winner race
not dominate one team
suzuki ducati competitif too, i think next season will competitif
2017
ducati lorenzo and dovizioso
suzuki alex rin and andre ianone
yamaha marc vinales valentino rossi
and honda still marques dani pedrosa

It's a Formula 1 weekend once again!  And according to Toto Wolff, Mercedes might not be the favorite.  Thank God if that's true.

i mean figurative not like real
but good math on calculating this can be very interesting till end after all

Assuming top 5 is 5th position in the last 5races for Marquez and Rossi win all the 5 races, this will make Rossi as the Champion.
Calculation :
Marquez : 5 x 11 (5th) = 55points + 223 = 278
                   5 × 13 (4th) = 65points + 223 = 288
Rossi : 5 x 25 (1st) = 125points + 180 = 305
             5 x 20 (2nd) = 100points + 180 = 280

Did you calculate it before?it is not save to be only top 5 or top 4 for Marquez in the remaining 5races in case Rossi win all the remaining races. If Marquez want to keep his position save, so he should be on top 3.
I'm sure Marquez will not only try to finish on Top 5, he will try to win 1 or 2 more races. Once he knows that Rossi can reach his points then he can ride safely.

Marquez can now play safe just to finish in top 5 every race unless he crashes then he will have to drive better
it might be good for title race but he got experience now to know how to do it

this is still open battle marquez is driving safe just to finish and earn point rossi driver on edge to win at all cost this may back fired on him but i believe that we will have last race to see who will be winner

defeat only 43 point and 5 races still open championship
5 race can point maximum 125 point
whatever still accident, marequest can accident do not finish injury and more
you can see this now all team all rider competitif
diference last season the big three usually only rossi lorenzo marques
you can see this last race marquest only finish in placed fourth
